Testimony of Dr. Patricia, a physician from the Dominican Republic on her visit to Medjugorje ′ I have a great devotion to Our Lady. I am a doctor, and I have spent over a year working with Covid-19, in this pandemic, and I really needed rest for the soul, I needed to disconnect, and I thought that the greatest rest for me was to come here. My country, the Dominican Republic, is also one of the few countries in the world where abortion has not been accepted into law. We are receiving a lot of international pressure, and I have come to present my country to Our Lady, so that she can help us so that the bill does not pass into the new penal code under review by the Senate, and so we can remain heroes in the history of the mankind to defend the conservation of life. I never really felt like I was in heaven, and here (Medjugorje) I can say I did. We also hear the birds singing all day, the butterflies by the dozen, here nature is alive ... Then, the people with the rosary in their hand and their extreme kindness. I go to bed late because I don't want the day to end. Everything is designed to enrich the spirit, from prayers to 24-hour worship. Here I don't feel any anguish, I feel a deep peace, with my spirit totally satisfied. I believe that this too is a gift from Our Lady: to have come alone and have found a nice group of pilgrims here. We were able to share some time with Mirjana. I was struck by her simplicity and humility. She served all of us, as well as her entire family. It captured me: working for us, thanking us for having responded to our Mother's invitation to come here. Furthermore, the priests who serve here have a real purpose to reach for all people, to invite them to their true conversion through confession. They guided us through this very important moment in the history of life, when we came here looking for answers, so that we all really leave this place transformed, and become an example for others to follow. Come to Medjugorje. Do not miss this opportunity to transform your spirit and become, with the help of Our Lady, that special person that God has designed in love for eternity.

How I would love to be there right now! I just don't know when I'll ever be able to travel out of country again...with vaccine passports and the destabilizing of countries left and right... For months now, I've been in a kind of state of retreat from the world...feeling the possible loss soon of nearly everything but (hopefully) Mass and the grocery store. I'm preparing for it mentally and spiritually.
I think Jakov Colo said in a recent interview that he thinks this period will pass and things will return to normal. (If he says this and he knows all ten secrets, I have hope that it will be as he says.) I think we are in a tough phase right now, but we have to hold on to hope that things will get better soon.
With great respect to you personally, I think a return to normal is very unlikely, even impossible. How can we return to normal when the majority of the population accept or even desire genetic manipulation, drastic draconian measures by the state, and the strictest exclusion out of society of any dissidents? As I see it, we are in the decisive battle. As Sr. Lucia put it, the evil one is in the mood to engage in a decisive battle, where one side wins and the other side loses. It will either be the triumph of the current world order, or the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart. And the Medjugorje teaching, that everything is basically fine, this soft and cozy teaching, among other things, such as the direct contradiction of the local Bishop, the on-going radio station-like messages, and so on, this teaching is precisely why, after all, I remain skeptical about whether Medjugorje is from above or from below. Would the Mother of God not warn and strengthen her children in times like these with severe words, as she did in Fatima, Akita, La Salette? I suggest being careful about following the Medjugorje notion that everything will return to normal, I think this idea could be misleading. Instead, I would suggest to prepare for battle, by putting on the whole armor of God. It is like Lord of the Rings right now, this has been convincingly observed on this forum. Remember the scene where the King has to be woken up from a Zombie-like slumber, and he says something like: "It is I who chooses whether my army goes to war or not." The response by the fellowship was something like: "War is upon you, whether you choose it or not." Perhaps some of the tech gurus can post a video with that scene here. Prepare for battle! Viva Christo Rey!
MP, I understand exactly where you are coming from on your comment. Breaking free from the clutches of apostasy, as I understand, would entail a divine intervention. Many people think that a warning or illumination of conscience is coming. That divine intervention would shake off the disbelief in God that so many suffer from and that believers are feeling persecution from those disbelievers/atheists. Secondly, the Medjugorje visionaries have steadfastly prophesied about an indestructible sign that will appear at the spot of the first apparition that will stay until the end of the world. Thirdly, the Blessed Mother has given Vicka the details of her earthly life and told her to write it all out. When the Blessed Mother says so, Vicka will share the Blessed Mother's biographical life with all of us. What we have seen so far from Medjugorje, is just a fraction of the entire project. I do not agree that the messages are not hard hitting enough. Here are a few excerpts from messages that were warnings/admonitions Jan 25, 2017 Satan is strong and wants to turn all of you against God, and to return you to everything that is human, and to destroy in the heart all feelings towards God and the things of God. You, little children, pray and fight against materialism, modernism and egoism, which the world offers to you. August 25, 2015 The world is in a moment of trial, because it forgot and abandoned God. July 25, 2019 Little children, trials will come and you will not be strong, and sin will reign but, if you are mine, you will win, because your refuge will be the Heart of my Son Jesus. October 2, 2013 I will be with you until the meeting with the Heavenly Father. My children, it is those who walk towards the Heavenly Father with love and faith who will be saved. Do not be afraid, I am with you. Put your trust in your shepherds as my Son trusted when he chose them, and pray that they may have the strength and the love to lead you. Thank you.
Yes Michael--I believe nothing short of an illumination of conscience/world wide warning will suffice to shake people out of their zombie state. LOTR is a good analogy. I also think of The Odyssey where Odysseus's men fall into the lethargy of the Land of the Lotus Eaters. They would rather dream of home than do the hard and dangerous work of getting home. He has to violently drag them back to the ship. My friend and I discussed this on the way to the monastery yesterday. We have come to the conclusion that Great Delusion that St John speaks of (God will permit a Great Delusion) has fallen upon us. Only those who genuinely seek truth in their hearts can see through it. Otherwise the diabolical disorientation Sr Lucy referred to has them in its grip. Nothing short of spiritual dynamite will wake them up. We must keep praying.
August 25th 2021 message given to us through Marija "Dear children! With joy I am calling all of you, little children, who have responded to my call: be joy and peace. Witness with your lives Heaven, which I am bringing to you. It is time, little children, that you be a reflection of my love for all those who do not love and whose hearts hatred has conquered. Do not forget: I am with you and intercede for all of you before my Son Jesus, that He may give you His peace. Thank you for having responded to my call."
I quit many years ago for lent….didn’t miss it one bit….like I quit my job! Lol! Admittedly, I’d miss MOG because of all of your beautiful faith. It may go down someday….if so, I’ll miss you all.
message and description of Ivan's apparition from the Queen of Peace on September 4, 2021 from Radio Maria and medjugorjetuttiigiorni.com This evening Our Lady came especially joyful and happy among us all. As soon as she arrived she greeted everyone with her usual maternal greeting: “Praised be Jesus, my dear children”. Then Our Lady stretched out her hands And she prayed above us all, especially the sick people present at this meeting and the priests present at this meeting. Then Our Lady turned to all of us with the following words: "Dear children, Particularly I invite you all to pray for my intentions because I, through your prayers and through you, I can stop Satan's plans that every day take you further and further away from God, they (Satan's plans) put themselves before God and destroy all that is beautiful in the world. Pray dear children. the Mother prays together with all of you. Thank you, dear children, because even today you have responded to my call ”. Then Our Lady gave us her maternal blessing and likewise she blessed all sacred objects that we brought here for blessing. Then I recommended all of you, your needs, your families, all of you that in a particular way have recommended yourselves in prayer during these days, all your needs that you all carry in your hearts. Our Lady more than anyone knows our hearts. Then Our Lady for a period of time she continued to pray over all of us and in this prayer she went away in the sign of light and the cross with the greeting: “Go in peace, my dear children”. Dear friends, the importance of tonight's meeting with Our Lady is that Our Lady invites us today, as you have heard, to pray for her intentions because through our prayers, She stops Satan's plans, these satanic projects that every day distance us further and further from God, who put themselves before God and destroy all that is beautiful in this world and in ourselves. Once again I greet you all dear friends. Peace and good to all of you. RADIO MARIA
Apparently, Archbishop Hoser traveled to Poland in April (probably near Easter time) to receive the Pfizer vaccine because it was not available in Bosnia. Shortly after the first dose, he contracted covid 19 and from then on was hospitalized three times ending in his death in August. https://newsbeezer.com/polandeng/on...ws-hosera-what-did-he-say-about-the-pandemic/
MESSAGE FROM QUEEN OF PEACE TO IVAN OF MEDJUGORJE for us 11 SEPTEMBER 2021 "DEAR CHILDREN TODAY I INVITE YOU TO SERIOUSLY ACCEPT THE MESSAGES I GIVE YOU. I AM NEAR YOU AND I WISH, DEAR CHILDREN, THAT EVERYONE OF YOU WILL BE EVEN CLOSER TO MY HEART. THEREFORE, CHILDREN, PRAY AND SEEK THE WILL OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE. I WISH THAT EACH OF YOU DISCOVER THE WAY OF HOLINESS AND GROW ON THIS PATH. THANK YOU DEAR CHILDREN WHO STILL HAVE ANSWERED MY CALL TODAY. "
from Sister Emmanuel's monthly report Children of Medjugorje she shares news of the visionaries Vicka remains invisible, she is praying for us a great deal, she is suffering and offering everything to Jesus. She had to undergo an operation on her spine again, for the sixth time! It is up to us to support her on this Way of the Cross that she has been walking for years, which she is transforming into a true path of joy! The visionary Marija was very present in Medjugorje this summer, and thanks to her we were able to be present at a few apparitions. Marija is admirable in her desire to share as much as possible the graces of Mary's visits. Moreover, according to Vicka, wherever you may find yourself, if you keep silent at the moment of the apparition to welcome Mary into your heart, you will receive the same graces as the visionaries do. Mary is happy to see our hearts wide opened to her! The visionary Ivan Dragicevic wrote some of his thoughts (early September): “Dear friends, these are difficult times. We have bad leaders. There is a lack of strong moral character in politics. People are disoriented. Programs are moving forward. Humanity is again at a crossroads. Wisdom has gone astray. Common sense is disappearing while subjectivism is in the superficiality of life. Indifference to the great values of the Spirit is the great sin of our time! “And yet, this is a time for searching, for turning back, for discovery and for understanding the Christian DNA of the origins. This is a time to know Christ better in order to be strong enough to speak the truth and defend the demands of the Truth. Seeking and speaking the truth is a gift of God for every person. It is an exciting journey. We are not afraid!" (Translated from Italian)
Message, 25. September 2021 “Dear children! Pray, witness and rejoice with me because the Most High continues to send me to lead you on the way of holiness. Be aware, little children, that life is short and eternity is waiting for you to give glory to God with your being, with all the saints. Little children, do not worry about earthly things, but long for Heaven. Heaven will be your goal and joy will begin to reign in your heart. I am with you and bless all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
does anyone else get the feeling that a great many of us may be meeting our Maker sooner rather than later?
Heh, that was my thought as well, though I'm not sure that's what she's meaning to say! I certainly have had to focus more on Heaven being our true home and fearing worldly issues less lately. The world is trying very hard to steal our peace, and even if it ends up stealing our very lives sooner rather than later, well... How blessed are we to only end up in our true beautiful home even sooner!
Message November 25, 2021 “Dear children! I am with you in this time of mercy and I am calling all of you to be carriers of peace and love in this world where, through me, little children, God is calling you to be prayer and love, and an expression of Heaven here on earth. May your hearts be filled with joy and faith in God; that, little children, you may have complete trust in His holy will. That is why I am with you, because He, the Most High, is sending me among you to encourage you to the hope; and you will be peacemakers in this peaceless world. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
From the Saint James parish webpage A new Apostolic Visitor for Medjugorje appointed date: 27.11.2021. The Press Office of the Holy See announced today at noon, November 27, 2021, the news that Pope Francis had appointed Archbishop Msgr. Aldo Cavalli, titular Archbishop Vibo Valentia (Vibo Valentia - lat. Dioecesis Vibonensis), former Apostolic Nuncio to the Netherlands, as the Apostolic Visitor with a special role for the parish of Medjugorje, indefinitely and ad nutum Sanctae Sedis. It is a continuation of the mission carried out in Medjugorje by Archbishop Henryk Hoser, S.A.C., who died on August 13, 2021 in Warsaw. Msgr. Aldo Cavalli was born on October 18, 1946 in Lecco (Italy). He was ordained a priest of the diocese of Bergamo on March 18, 1971. After being ordained to the priesthood, he taught literature at the Seminary, during which time he completed his studies in political science at a Catholic university. He has been at the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy in Rome since 1975, crowning his stay with a postgraduate degree in theology and ecclesiastical law. He served in several nunciatures as the Secretary and in the State Secretariat of the Holy See. He was ordained a bishop on August 26, 1996 in the Cathedral of Bergamo. He has been the Apostolic Nuncio to Chile, Colombia, Malta and Libya, and since March 21 2015, he has been the Nuncio to the Netherlands and the Permanent Representative of the Holy See to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). On the occasion of this appointment, the Provincial of the Franciscan Province of Herzegovina, Fr. Miljenko Šteko, said: “I express my deepest gratitude to the Holy Father Pope Francis for appointing a new Apostolic Visitator with a special role for the parish of Medjugorje, represented by Archbishop Cavalli. We see this appointment as a sign of the careful attention of the Pope for this place of pilgrimage. We welcome the new Apostolic Visitor with a deep sense of gratitude and respect as his predecessor, the benevolent Msgr. Hoser, whose birthday is, quite significantly, on this day. May the new Apostolic Visitor in the new ministry, by which he represents the Holy Father and the Holy See in Medjugorje and in the local Church, be accompanied by the heavenly help of the Most Holy Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary!” “I am truly happy because of this news. I was wonderfully surprised by the news that Pope Francis had appointed Msgr. Aldo Cavalli as the new Apostolic Visitor with a special role for the parish of Medjugorje. We are grateful to God for Msgr. Henryk Hoser for being with us and for having done so much for Medjugorje and we believe that Msgr. Cavalli shall continue his path. We are glad for this news. Thank you, Pope Francis, for sending us Archbishop Cavalili as Apostolic Visitor with a special role for the parish of Medjugorje”, said the parish priest of Medjugorje, Fr. Marinko Šakota, after the announcement of this news.
Message to us, given to Marija December 25, 2021 “Dear children! Today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace. Little children, without peace you do not have a future or blessing; therefore return to prayer, because the fruit of prayer is joy and faith, without which you cannot live. Today's blessing which we give you, carry to your families and enrich all those whom you meet, that they may feel the grace which you are receiving. Thank you for having responded to my call.” At the last daily apparition to Jakov Colo on September 12th, 1998, Our Lady told him that henceforth he would have one apparition a year, every December 25th, on Christmas Day. This is also how it was this year. The apparition began at 2:25 pm and lasted 9 minutes. Our Lady came with little Jesus in her arms. Through Jakov, Our Lady gave the following message on December 25, 2021: Dear children, You are, and you are called, 'children of God'. If only your hearts would feel that immeasurable love which God has for you, your hearts would adore and give thanks to Him at every instant of your life. Therefore, little children, today, on this day of grace, open your hearts and implore the Lord for the gift of faith; so that you could truly become worthy of the name 'children of God' who, with a pure heart, give thanks to and honor their Heavenly Father. I am beside you and am blessing you with my motherly blessing. ++++++++++++++ A blessed Christmas octave and a blessed new year to all on the forum. I include your intentions in my daily prayers.
